USING TELIX WITH EXTERNAL HS/LINK Installation: Please refer to the TELIX manual for detailed information on installation of external protocols. The following installation steps should work for most folks: Copy the provided HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT files, as well as HSLINK.EXE into your TELIX directory, or into a directory included in your search PATH. You can edit HS-D.BAT and HS-U.BAT to include options on the HSLINK command line, but most folks won't need to change anything. If you want to experiment, there are a number of optional parameters you can read about in HSLINK.DOC and HSLINK.NEW. Next you need to install the HS/LINK protocol into the TELIX protocol menu. Load up TELIX and press ALT-O to get into the CONFIGURE menu. Then cursor down to the PROTOCOL OPTIONS selection and press ENTER. In this screen, you press A (B, or C if you already have other external protocols configured). When asked for "KEY" enter "H". When asked for "PROTOCOL NAME" enter "HS/Link". When asked for "UPLOAD FILENAME" enter "HS-U.BAT". When asked for "DOWNLOAD FILENAME" enter "HS-D.BAT". When asked for "BAT or SCRIPT" select "BATCH FILE". When asked "Should TELIX ask for filenames on download?" say "NO". Then press ENTER to get out of this screen and cursor down to "WRITE SETUP TO DISK" and press ENTER to save your changes. To download with HS/LINK, first you tell the BBS you're talking to what files you want to download, and that you want to download in the HS/LINK protocol. On the Tool Shop you can do this with the following command: D H filename filename S for example, D H TOOLSHOP.EXE S Once you've got the BBS into downloading mode, you press the PGDN key and select the HS/LINK protocol from the menu. If you want to also upload to the BBS while downloading, you simply press the PGUP key instead of PGDN, select HS/LINK from the menu, and list the upload filenames you want to have transmitted. I hope these instructions help, but remember, I can't take responsibility for anydamages resulting from these instructions. If you get stuck, it always helps to read the DOC files that come with TELIX and with HSLINK. If all else fails, call up the tool shop and ask for help on the main board. Either I will help you, or somebody else will know the answer and give you a hand. Good luck! Samuel H.
